Instead of purchasing a Tesla Power Walljehugarcia shows us how a DIY version can be put together. The EV West facility has a large flat roof which makes laying the panels nice and easy. The roof is crazy high so getting them up on the roof looks like it was not that simple. The video at the top shows a bit of the solar panel installation and the lower video is an update on the system showing how the system is wired. This system is basically used to charge EV vehicles but there are some regular outlets that can be used for regular plug in equipment if there is a power failure. The Tesla car batteries are mounted in a standard electrical off the shelf enclosure. There is no continuous battery monitoring on the battery packs but rather a header that a battery balance monitoring system can be plugged into whenever they would like to check the levels.
